Facebook widget is missing from my Priv

This morning I noticed my Facebook widget had gone missing form the home screen I have it set to. I went to the widgets tab of my app drawer and noticed it wasn't in there either. Just to be sure I long pressed the screen to see if it would show up under widgets and I also tried to use the widget quick launch. Neither were successful. The facebook app is installed on my phone. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app as well as factory resetting my phone with no luck. Does anyone have an idea of how to resolve this?

I think the most recent facebook app update got rid of the widget. Sorry!

I know it doesn't answer the question, but I'd like to suggest that you try Metal for Facebook. They have a great floating bar that goes in the notification swipe down.

Thanks for both the info and suggested alternate. I didn't see anything in the change log saying they had removed it.

Hold the screen . . any screen where you can put you finger on... hold it and the you will see Wallpaper.. widgets ect

Pull up widgets. On the top, go to the App tab. Where you see Facebook, Hold it. It will then to go screen.

It works good if you starts on a screen which doesn't have a lot of icons. You can move you FB icon, to the screen you want it on.

+1 Metal is phenomenal! It doesn't ask for as many permissions, has different themes and--assuming you delete the Facebook app--will save your battery life.

Aptpoid may have older versions but be aware facebook does stop older versions to stop functioning sometimes
